EYEGLASSES AND SPEGTACLES.

No. 829,268. I

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Aug. 21, 1906.

Application filed January 26,1905. Serial NcPZ L ZHQS,

T allwhmn it many concern:

Be it'known that I, GEORGE A. GR FFIN, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented certainnew and useful Improvements 111 Eyeglasses and Spectacles, of which the following is a specifi cation.

My invention relates to the fastenings for the nose spring and guards, either or both, to the lens-mounting ofeyeglasses, spectacles,

&c., the object being to prevent the loosening of the parts and to render the connection sanitary. g

The invention consists mainly in so constructing the screw that someportion' of 1ts head after the screw is turned home may be made to engage with some portion ofthe mounting which will-prevent the screw from turning.-

The invention also consists in the construction, arrangement, and combination of parts, all as hereinafter described.

In the accompanying drawings, to which reference is made and which form a part of this specification, Figure 1 1s a perspectlve View of a pair of eyeglasses, illustrating my invention applied thereto; and Fig. 2 is a per-- spective view showing various parts sepa rated. I

In the drawings, 2 2 designate the lenses of eyeglasses or spectacles, 3 the nose-spring, and 4 4 the nose-guards, all of which may be of the usual or of any approved form of construction. i

The ends ofthe nose-spring and the arms of the nose-guards are secured to the lens mounting 5 5 of any form by 'screwsfi, each of which enters a screw-tap 7, made in a studpost 8 between the flanges 9 9 thereof.v Each screw is provided with a pliable plate 10, some portion of which may be made to engage with a relatively permanent partas,

i111" example, the stud-post, thenose-spring, or the nose-guard or other permanent part. The said plate on the screw is by preference adapted to cover the space between the flangesof the stud post, as shown in Fig. 1, thus preventing verdig'ris, moisture, dust, &c., from accumulating in the mounting; but I do not limit myself to any special proportions or to any specialshape er form of the plate, as, it may be made in various forms having portions thereof adapted to be bent into engagement with some permanent part so as to hold the screw from turning back. 1

The form I prefer is shown in Fig. 2, wherein it 1s provlded with one or more ears or projections 12, notched at 13 13 from the plate and adapted to be bent into engagement with the nose-spring, as shown. in Fig; 1, o with some other permanent part. j Having thus described my invention, what I claim as'new, and desire to seci re by Let contact with -the outer edges of the said fianges, said plate being formed at opposite corners with pliable projections 12 and separatedby the slots 13,13 from the main por tion of the plate, substantially as described.

GEORGE A. GRIFFIN.
